Workshop description

Are you teaching your own course as a sessional instructor in the upcoming terms? Then you may be interested in our online session designed for new graduate student course instructors.

This session will be of interest to graduate students who are teaching as instructors during the Winter 2022 or Spring 2022 terms. Hear from a panel of graduate students who successfully taught their first course at Waterloo and engage in group discussions about common scenarios. Considerations for both online and in-person courses will be addressed. In this session, you will discuss common challenges faced by first-time instructors, identify strategies for addressing them, and develop ideas for getting your course off to a great start.

Panelists include:

  • Adam Humeniuk, Pure Mathematics
  • Angeline Ram, Geography and Environmental Management
  • Jaylyn Leighton, Recreation & Leisure Studies
  • Rebecca MacAlpine, History
